Playing Catch Up

Lately I seem far too distractable.
All the things I've been meaning to photograph have languished on my camera card. So here - in no particular order - are a few of the things I've wanted to share:

A Halloween wreath (no I didn't make this - but I love it):

Cosmo thought I bought fundraiser items from Olivia's school, just for his pleasure:

My doll-in-progress from a class in Akron with Christine Shively:

Some of the tags I made for the tag swap on the CPS list:

A stitched round-robin with the four elements interpreted in fabric (clockwise, from upper left - fire, air, earth, water):

Not yet ready to show, but in the works - pillows for Paige, four "pockets" for a swap on the CPS group, Mickey's mannequin for the round robin with Time for Dolls, and the steampunk version of the next exquisite corpse round robin.

About Me

I’m an incredibly fortunate Baby Boomer. My life has been filled with joy, challenges, and learning opportunities. My three adult children, their spouses, my beautiful granddaughters, and my amusing pets all color my life. (Though no one is more colorful or amusing than my dear husband, Oldtimer!) My childhood was unusual and my parents unique (Lolo was an astrologer before most people knew what that was; Hawkshaw a WWII vet who lost both legs), which, combined with enough moves to put me in nine different schools in 12 years, gives a different perspective on life experiences.
In my spare time, I work in my "tree house" of sewing and art projects (now on the ground floor, but still amidst greenery and overlooking water), as well as my soap kitchen, where I make beautiful luxury soaps and lotions.
I like to work, love home decor projects, travel eagerly, embrace non-mainstream spirituality, and am grateful for *something* every single day.
